Lido said on Oct. 6 that MetaMask Staking has largely completed the exit process for its Lido validators after an infrastructure investigation conducted last week. According to Lido, the process has proceeded without unexpected issues, and the exited ETH will continue to be re-entered into the Lido protocol over the coming weeks. The protocol said the impact on stETH holders has been limited because the operator disclosed the issue in a timely manner and moved quickly to address it. Lido added that the final batch of validators is still completing its exit, while stETH APR stands at 2.23%, in line with or above levels seen since August. The protocol also said stETH yield is sourced from more than 600 independent node operators across the Curated Staking Module and Community Staking Module, which limits the effect of a precautionary exit by any single large operator. MetaMask Staking is expected to release a full post-incident analysis report in the coming weeks.

Final validator batch is still exiting

Lido said the final batch of validators is currently completing the exit process. stETH APR is 2.23%, which the protocol said is in line with or higher than levels seen since August.

Lido added that stETH yield comes from more than 600 independent node operators across the Curated Staking Module and Community Staking Module, meaning a precautionary exit by a single large operator has limited impact on overall yield.

Full postmortem report expected in coming weeks

MetaMask Staking will publish a full postmortem report in the coming weeks, according to Lido.
